Nice.

Is it the same bracelet on the co-axial speedmaster racing? Will check out mine.

Will also try to take a pic of my moonphase’s moon when full moon. Just a few days away.

Havent taken a mechanical chronograph swimming. Are the pushers safe to swim with? I know they shouldnt be operated underwater.

I really think it is the same. Try swapping them out. You may have already solved the problem. Post a pic of your racing bracelet. But again I'm pretty sure they are the same.

As long as you do not operate the pushers underwater it is totally fine to swim with it. It is water resistant to 330 feet, double that of the standard Moonwatch. So you should have no issue swimming with this watch.

Loving it! I did try on the black dial with bracelet just to get a feel for the bracelet. The piece is certainly much heavier on bracelet, but not a deal breaker for me so I have placed an order for the bracelet too.

I'm not a watch winder guy, as I enjoy winding and setting my watches when needed. In this case though, I'm also thinking of a single wolf or similar winder to keep the moonphase accurate when I do eventually rotate.

Here it is (bottom leftmost) with my other speedmasters. Will post a close up when i get it out of the safe. Maybe next week.

Have not yet taken any of my speedmasters for a swim.

That looks exactly right. I would be shocked if that doesn't fit the moonphase.

Here is a closeup of mine for you to compare.

I also prefer it on the strap. I have it on bracelet right now for the summer but it can't top the comfort on the leather strap. For a big watch I almost forget it is there when on the strap. But in this area it gets HOT in the summer so I needed a bracelet. Also want to be able to swim with it.

The boot print is there I promise


Cant see the boot print on mine

As for fit, it wears comfortably and is easier to get sized correctly than other Omega bracelets in my opinion. I still think there's no beating the leather strap for sheer comfort, but I need this for the hotter months and for swimming. Anyway here are a couple pics for anyone who might be interested.
